Re: How many 5 digit numbers can be created if the following [#permalink]
How about this as the answer -

no. of options when the 3rd & 2nd place are repeating - A - 4x3x3x8x7 - 2016
(as 3,5,7 are the only options for repeating numbers)
no. of options when the 3rd & 2nd place are NOT repeating - B - 4x2x3x7x6 - 1008
(1,9 for second place and 3,5,7 for thrid place)
Ans. A + B = 3024

It should be:
1. second and third digits are the same:
4*3*1*8*7

2. second and third digits are not the same:
4*4*3*7*6

Hope it helps.
